Anyone here can recommend a good wireless keyboard for my HTCP? Which one is popular here? Thanks.

It doesn't really have any HTPC bells and whistles but as a simple wireless keyboard I love my Logitech solar powered keyboard.

I have several of these from Newegg. You can get them on sale for around $35 or so if you watch the ads.

IOGEAR GKM561R Black 2.4GHz Wireless HTPC Multimedia Keyboard with Laser Trackball and Scroll Wheel

i just built my htpc a few days ago and i've been looking for a keyboard as well. the one iv'e been looking at lately is the K400 by logitech. it seems the most basic and i prefer the full size trackpad.

I have the Logitech N5902. It is okay. Seems like the range doesn't want to go all the way across my living room at 17' too well. Also seems like I need to aim the remote at the PC a little too much. Mouse pad works better than the keyboard when having distance issues.

I LOVE my Logitech diNovo Edge. Great wireless keyboard for HTPC use with the built-in mouse pad.

lol. I am shallow, I went for the looks first. It is still at like.

I would love it if range was a little more. But having said that, the bluetooth dongle is on the back on the rear panel inside the entertainment cabinet. If it was a small dongle, i could have put it on the front giving me a much better range. I am good at the 12 feet i am at now. Anymore and it gets jumpy. If I use the front usb port, i have gone up to 40ft.

I have the same issue--intermittent connection issues when the dongle was in back, and it's too big and unsightly to go in front. So, I got a USB extension cable that I run up along the side of my HTPC. It's fairly unobtrusive, and still puts the dongle up front without sticking out. Haven't had a hiccup with connectivity since.
